If Trump isn't charged and prosecuted... [View all]

[Under The Radar]

...he will haunt the Republican Party for the rest of his life.
With the Republicans distancing themselves from Trump and likely soon to abandon him altogether, he will use his bull horn on social media to trash everyone on both sides of the isle. However, he will still carry the favor of the 1/3 far right wing conspiracy nuts which will continue to split their party, spouting off about how great he was and how he made everything so great again, while no one else measures up.
Like GW Bush, he will never be invited to a Republican convention again nor asked to endorse any legitimate candidate because it will be a mark of shame for so many. For a short time he will do the Trump TV stuff again, possibly another reality show, and will boast of another run for President and leading his cause for our freedom.
It will all look very similar to the lingering effects that Sarah Palin had until the slow fade comes after each personal embarrassment, but this will be much stronger than the Palin phenomenon. Fox will cover him for a while and then begin to ignore him and their will continue to be online reports of his tweets.
Democrats should be able to work with their head to the grindstone unnoticed while the Trump circus continues while occasionally throwing some fuel on the fire with investigations, documents and redactions released, and a few convictions of AG’s, Sec’s of State other cabinet officials, aides and possibly children. To sentence Trump to prison for the rest of his life and therefore silencing him could be giving the Republican Party their cure and recovery from their own self inflicted misery. As comforting as it seems, we may need to think this thing through and not rush to the Judgement of Trump.
